Due to high volumes in the courier network, ordering from brands within your country during the festive period can take up to 7 days; and up to 14 working days if ordering from brands outside of your country. It may take longer than this depending on the courier used, customs procedures and volumes, and is unfortunately out of our control.
Whilst we'd love to be able to, we are unable to guarantee delivery before Christmas on any order, so that’s why we would strongly recommend ordering in plenty of time if you would like to get the best chance of delivery before Christmas.
As a marketplace, all items are shipped to you directly by our brands, using tracked delivery. If you have purchased multiple items from different brands at the same time, each item will be sent separately.
Many of our brands offer free domestic shipping (or free over a certain spend limit).
Some offer free international shipping depending on your location and / or order value.

| UK Customers | £5.95 | £10 | £6 |
| US Customers | £10 | £6 | £10 |
| EU Customers | £5.95 | £10 | £6 |
Canada & Rest of World shipping costs differ by brand and by country.
